BURNER MAINTENANCE
You should check the burner periodically for any sort
of blockage. To do this, remove and inspect them. If
any of the holes are clogged, gently tap the burner
onto a hard surface to remove residue. Use a wire
brush to unclog the holes. Once this is done, lightly
coat the burner with oil to help protect them from
rust.
To reduce the chance of “ FLASH-BACK’, the procedure
below should be followed at least once a month in
late summer or early fall when spiders are most
active or when your gas oven has not been used for a
period of time.
1. Turn the burner valve to the full OFF position.
2. Turn the gas cylinder valve (clockwise) to the full
OFF position.
3. Detach the regulator assembly from the gas
cylinder.
4. Remove the burner from the gas oven. Use a
screwdriver or needle nose pliers.
5. Carefully lift burner up and away from the gas
valve orifice.
6. Refer to figure below and perform one of these
three cleaning methods.
Bend a stiff wire, (a lightweight coat hanger works
well) into a small hook as shown below. Run the hook
through the burner tube and inside the burner
several times to remove any debris.
Use a bottle brush with a flexible handle. Run the brush
through the burner tube and inside the burner several
times, removing any debris.
Use an air hose to force air through the burner tube. The
forced air should pass debris or obstructions through
the burner and out the ports.
1. Regardless of which burner cleaning procedure you
use, we recommend you also complete the following
steps to help prolong burner life.
2. Use a wire brush to clean the entire outer surface of
each burner until free of food residue or dirt
3. Clean clogged ports with wire, such as an open paper
clip.
Inspect the burner after installation, check to ensure
that the gas valve orifices are correctly placed inside the
end of the burner tube. Also check the position of your
spark electrode.
